About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Studying simple living by learning to make/do everything in my life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a computer tech by trade from Fargo. I have a lot of supplementary interests.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is addicting, every time I experience something I see 10 more things that I haven't experienced yet...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling, and I love talking to travelers. The story's that can be shared paint pictures of places I hope to someday be, and show me perspectives into other peoples lives.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed on my fair share of couches, and had people board with me off and on. I've so far only hosted surfers through couchsurfing.

Interests

Cooking, art, making things of any sort, war, peace, reading, nature, philosophy, music, science, hacking, world cultures...EVERYTHING. Everything is an experience and I'm interested in all of it!

I'm also interested in world religions but I don't like people trying to convert me or nagging me incessantly. Please don't, I'm very happy the way I am.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to England with no return ticket, no money, a laptop, and a disassembled computer. Once I convinced everyone I wasnt a terrorist and it was all computer equipment, they let me in! This was even post 9/11. I hawked the computer equipment and backpacked around for a few months. I met a lot of great people and can tell hours of stories.

Teach, Learn, Share
